Amanda,
You need to carefully try to remove the plastic frame around the outside edge of the inside of the door and hopefully that should expose the screws that you need to tighten for the handle. I say carefully because that frame can be very expensive to replace if you break it. It is currently listing on Sears site for $95!

You need to remove the screws that are holding the frame of the door to gain access to the rear of the handle assuming that the handle is not stripped out to start with.
Normally
you have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo)
and then you'll see the screws you need to remove.
Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) here that demonstrates how it's done.
From the service manual:
Door Disassembly
1. Disconnect power to oven and remove oven door, (see "Door Removal" procedure).
2. Pry away choke cover, by placing a tool in the upper right corner of the door and gently prying outward on the choke cover. Continue to work around the door casing until choke cover is completely loose.
3. Slide latch assembly upward and to the left to release plastic tabs from door frame. Once latch assembly is loose the spring may be disconnected from the door frame.
4. Remove screws securing door handle and door frame to door panel.
5. Remove door frame by releasing tabs around entire door panel.
Remove door handle by placing a hand on door panel next to the top of the door handle. Twist door panel towards the inside of door and pulling on the top portion of the door handle in a quick jerking motion.
NOTE: When replacing door handle, the bottom portion of the door handle must be inserted first.

The in side door panel ( at total pain) must come off
If the damage to the bottom is not too bad. On mine I took the cover for the handle loose from the bottom ( it pops off, but be careful). and put screws at the bottom
